CHICAGO, November 29.-During the
present cold snaps, with the thermometer
ranging from ~ to IS below zero, the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail

heating for passenger trains. The ex-
periments, it is announced to-day, have
shown that the system adapted is a per

How TO give Dinners.


The first thing to beconsideredin giving
a dinner is its size, and a careful, thought
ful hOusekeeper never makes mistake.
1t is only the needless and inexperienced
who fall into trap here. \ crowded
table is always discomfort, except IN an
informal, friendly scramble ut Jolly
house for Sunday night tea. One servant
can never serve more than ten persons at
dinner without the whole thing dragging,
which is d certain death-blow to a
dinners success. If one has the habit
offrequent dinner-giying, itiswelltO limit
the number asked to eight, with one
servant in attendance to twelve, with
two. Anything larger than this except
the gathering together Of the clans
on high days and holidays becomes eX-
ceedingly formal and servant should
be provided for every two or at most
three persons. In most of the homes Of
America the houses are built too narrow
for round table to be introduced into
the diningroom, and, while deploring
the absence of that adjunct TO bright,
general conversation at small dinners,
III luIuihlltS duOtutI III kuAlcht III i1FOl
of limiting the guests TO eight, three
on a side being as many as a host or
hostess can reach in conversation. An
argument in favor of tea advanced in
some instances is, that this number
assists hostess in seating a gentleman at
the right Of every lady, and rice rcrSa.
This is certainly an advantage, but not
a compensation for a slow dinner, and,
as was stated, ten at table is sure TO
entail slowness if a butler or maid ser
want serve alone. One more thing a
hostess must bear in mind. The invited
guests must be congenial, not necessa-
rily acquainted, but persons of the same
tastes, interested in the same class of sub
iects. not those whose ideas and opinions
are wholly at variance.

LONDON, November 29.-The French
crisis presents no new features, unless
the gradual change OF sentiment regard
ing the attitude of NJ. Grevy may be
regarded as an additional phase. Never
in the history of elective otiice-holding
has there been n corresponding example
of tenacious clinging to place IN the face
of popular desire % be rid of the incum
bent, nor has there been in the life OF the
French republic anything like the pres
ent undercurrent Of incorporate OppO-
sitiOn tOthe governmental system. Agents
Of the Comte de Paris and Prince Victor
Napoleon have sedulously canyassed the
provinces in the interests Of their re-
spectiye principals within the last fort
night, and every possible effort to bring
about a plebiscite will be made, not in
the expectation of success, but rather for
the purpose of aScertaining the sentl-
ment OF the country with regard to the
possibility of monarchy.

LIVELY LAW STUDENTS.
Exciting Scenes over the Election for
Glass President.

The embryo lawyers Of the class Of 'S7 in
the law school of the Columbian University
are preparing themselves for active politi-
cal and congressional life, and, II their early
efforts are to be taken as indications OF
what they will be able to do when they
graduate, they furnish some fine examples
OF show not to do II" In conventions and
legislatures.
Three weeks ago last Tuesday the class
met and made arrangements for the Gus.
tomary election OF president. AT this meet
ing the innocent 'two.thirds" rule was
adopted, and this has been blamed for all
the trouble. A week later the election was
to take place. Ten ballots were taken, and
John M. Harlan, son of Mr.. Justice Harlan,
had good majority, with j. ii. Adams for
a competitor, hut the necessary two-thirds
was not secured, SO there was no election.
Several Intellectual efforts were made to
repeal the obnoxious rule.
Last Tuesday evening there was deter
mined effort to elect some one, but "the
best-laid plans OF mice and men gang aft
agley," and the endeavor came to naught.
The fun commenced when Harlan with
drew and threw his strength to Grandy,
who was pitted against Bright. After
several ballots had been taken Harlan made
most bitter speech, In which he denounced
the opposition in unmeasured terms; cpl
tuOto tuub WciC tfiuC otTOnR WclC tuIOWu
into the ranks of his foes. Then Mr.. Waters,
who had succeeded to the opposition candi-
dacy, withdrew, and Mr.. Cherry was put In
in nomination. At this point the Harlan
forces broke and their power was gone, the
majority of them voting for Cherry, thus
reversing things completely. The minor
ity was now the majority, but the two
thirds rule hampered them, and their op-
ponents turned their own guns on them
After the third ballot Cherry withdrew in
favor Of Titcomb. Filibustering tactics
were now resorted to by the minority.
Titcomb led for seven or eight ballots, but
gained no additional strength, 80 Mr..
Dorain was selected as the next victim, and
came within two votes Of the prize. See-
ing his election was very probable, the
Harlan contingent withdrew the proxies
that had been deposited with the chair, and
then retired from the room, leaving one
man to raise the point Of "no quorum" }"
and as result the meeting adjourned at
1890.
There Is genuine deadlock, both sides
declaring emphatically that neither will
give In.
